Delegates attending Labelexpo Americas 2012
can see firsthand the capabilities of Digital Flexo 3.0, the latest generation
of digital flexographic technology from Nuova Gidue S.r.l., a manufacturer of
printing and converting machines for the labels and packaging industry. The new
system delivers excellent production output compared with other digital
printing technologies, and is ideal for print runs of all sizes.
Matteo Cardinotti, Operations Manager at
Nuova Gidue, comments: “Each release of our Digital Flexo system opens the door
to new opportunities for flexo technologies, and our latest incarnation is no
different. Digital Flexo 3.0 on the M5 press beats digital printing
technologies over 1,000 linear meters of production. And in many jobs, it can compete - and win - well below 1,000 meters. Plus the same press is also profitable for
medium and long runs, on any substrate, with multiple converting in-line
solutions.”
Nuova Gidue will showcase at Labelexpo, stand
5722, an M5 430mm, eight-color UV flexo press, with three die-cutting units.
Digital Flexo 3.0 displays Gidue HD Cameras (PrintTutor), which read the
printed image on each print unit, and automatically adjust the print pressure,
register and density.
The fully automated adjustments are performed
by seven servo motors per print unit. The operator doesn’t touch the printing
units for adjustments, while print quality and set-ups are ‘digitalized’ and
fully automated in a closed-loop, digitally controlled print unit. Quality is also
digitally controlled by the printing machine during speed changes and roll
changes etc.
The M5 Digital Flexo 3.0 press takes care of
all set-up operations. The system also displays a new converting section with
revolutionary technologies that improve the specific productivity of
self-adhesive labels.
Excitement is already building around the M5
Digital Flexo 3.0 press – the system is due to be delivered to one of the
world’s largest corporate labels and packaging converters.
Federico d’Annunzio, Managing Director of
Nuova Gidue, concludes: “The introduction of the Digital Flexo 3.0 offers a
brighter future for self-adhesive label and packaging producers. Performance
difference between press operators is greatly reduced, very short runs with
high profit margins can be produced using the UV flexo printing process, and
the excellent throughput quality is consistent repeatable. Labelexpo is the
perfect event to demonstrate the power of the M5 Digital Flexo 3.0 system.
We’re also set to launch new press lines for packaging producers during 2012”.
